• Yay! I remember my first couple weeks of struggle and I wish I had had something like goneraw to help me. I'm so proud of you! Keep up the good work sista!

• Well you might try doing a dehydrated trail mix sort of thing. I do that occasionally to get more calories. I dehydrate apples, cranberries and I get dehydrated(no sulfates or heat) raisins, medjool dates, and apricots and I toss in pumpkin seeds an…

• It took me three periods after going raw for them to return to a more normal state. It was crazy for a bit! It's detox though so take it in stride. I hope the pain is bearable! Try a heating pad on your stomach and some chamomile tea.

• pixx-you're not into sweet stuff are you!? haha. I could never use chard in a smoothie. The bitterness (even in the most mild chard) would be far to overpowering for me. I never taste the spinach in my green smoothies but mustard greens and even col…

• tukiville-I struggled with these sort of symptoms for nearly a year before discovering raw foodism. I had to go cold turkey raw to rid myself of them. I have endometriosis and it became attached to my intestine ruining my digestive system. I was tir…

• Just thought of this. Are you 100% raw? If not then do you consume dairy? That could be a cause. Anything fermented such as wine and beer, cheese etc, are contributors to migraines. Mine were caused by dairy but later I found out that that particula…

  in Ugh, headaches... Comment by troublesjustabubble
• I used to suffer from awful migraines and it took a few years to realize what triggered them. Dairy was the biggest of all the culprits but in close second was all refined sugars and wheat. Try cutting those out completely. I always hated the meds f…

• My philosophy with raw has to not let food come between me and relationships. Food has always been a non-issue for me. I try very hard not to make a big deal about my diet. Many people make fun of me and I get the lectures but as time goes by I find…

• I don't mind sweating a little but I'm not a huge sweater so if I do I just wash my pits out occasionally. Sometimes I use baking soda but it burns a tiny bit. I say, eat more raw and you don't have to worry about odor!

• aww, sausoria that is so sweet! Thank you! That is so encouraging. I think I should mention that that guy and I are back on track and it's all good. Thank you everyone.

  in I'm about to cry Comment by troublesjustabubble
• Just to clarify, I NEVER tell anyone anything about how I eat unless they initiate and he had previously asked me about my lifestyle and was very interested. We're fairly close so it wasn't weird that I offered some to him. Ambiguous-I'm definitely …

• Thanks everyone for you kind words. I know that I should be past all of the hurt of situations like this by now but for some reason this one just cut deep and caught me off guard. Of course I won't write is him off as a friend but I don't know if he…

• Well when it goes rancid it smells awful. Really awful. Hard to describe but it's bad bad. I think your bf would notice if yours got bad.

• tell me ab out it. Not that much was ruined though. I had been using it for a while.

  in Coconut oil gone bad? Comment by troublesjustabubble
• It's fine on the shelf but do beware that it does go rancid after some time. I've had two jars go bad before I could finish them all the way! But I was using those particular bottles in the shower so it was taking me longer to use them than if I was…

• I notice that I get stopped up when I don't get enough fats. Coconut oil in smoothies really help as well as avocados and such. Also, make sure you're drinking enough water!

• What's wrong with olive oil? Good extra virgin cold pressed olive oil shouldn't be avoided. Its a great way to get monosaturated fats and shouldn't cause you to gain weight.

  in Raw Alternative to Olive Oil? Comment by troublesjustabubble
• You know a calorie is not a calorie when someone drinks a coke every day as opposed to a few bananas every day. Just see which one gains weight.

  in less calories vs more calories Comment by troublesjustabubble
• More spinach! It has a lot of minerals that help the nails and hair. Just put Spinach in everything and maybe kale and other dark greens too.

  in Brittle Nails Comment by troublesjustabubble
• Add a couple more bananas to your smoothies and waaaaay more fruit during the day.

• Hey nyquil! I'm not a guy but I've heard of many guys who maintain weight while on intense fitness regimes. I only go grocery shopping every two weeks and the fresh foods keep mostly, anything that doesn't keep I eat first. For example, bananas keep…

  in Interested in RAW FOOD DIET Comment by troublesjustabubble
• mikfizzle-I usually have only one avocado per day or every other day. Not sure how much is too much but listen to what your body is saying. I eat them when I crave something richer than greens. I usually think in meals while eating and before I woul…

• Okay, I have a problem with not getting enough calories but I just added an avocado, more bananas and other higher calorie fruit like mangoes as well as making my salads twice the size. It's really helped. An average woman should consume at least 12…

• sweetie! Eat more high fat raw foods! Perhaps exercise would help as well in building muscle. Do you eat alot of greens? Can you tell us what your typical daily diet is?

  in Scared Comment by troublesjustabubble
• I always buy cheap stuff in mass and then get the expensive things as 'treats'. I'm a very simple raw foodist and I mostly eat fruit, salads and green smoothies.
